I was searching for affiliate program discussion but could only find some very old topics like this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-affiliate-programs-434608
For all you webmasters: what sites you check gradually to find out new affiliate programs? And what type of programs are the most potential ones for you?
I've been running an article/news/info site for few months and I've used the referral codes of exchanges and Coinbase ofc. I also got banners of Ledger Nano S. So far the exchange referrals look by far the most promising. Especially Binance - even if they cut their percentage down from 50% to 20% recently. Any one-time referral payments are so much worse compared to these. I've recently started to promote KuCoin too, which is becoming very popular.

I'd say that your two options are pretty much exchanges and sportsbooks/dice sites.
Coinbase, Virwox, xCoins (though this one can be considered to be shady) all have affiliate programs that have merits in their own right. Major exchanges as you said like Binance and Kucoin also has this aspect.
There are also sportsbooks out there that offer a percentage of gaming volume back on any of your referral's bets. The same applies to dice sites. Essentially, they will give you a percentage of the house edge back as a reward for referring these people, you just have to find the best deal, make sure that the site you're dealing with is indeed legit, and make sure that doing something like this is legal in your state/country.
Personally, I only notice affiliate programs when they are being listed on a site I'm already using. Since affiliate programs are constantly updated, it's hard to keep a definitive list.
Because KuCoin stopped the invitation bonus program this week.
